Proverbs 16:9
"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps."
The lesson I am learning now is that I may have planned what the next few weeks were going to be like, but all that has to change and that's ok! I was hoping to decorate for fall, go to a wedding, be really involved in a Bible study retreat, visit a friend, clean out the garage since the house was finally cleaned and organized ( ha!) and finish a few DIY fun projects I have waiting and can't wait to get my hands on! BUT.....God has other plans for us and that is OK!
In Bible study yesterday morning we learned that the Thessalonians had joy despite severe persecution- so convicting! Especially when I got home and had a little breakdown of tears being simply overwhelmed at the prospect of cleaning every inch of this place, while caring for the boys. Our High School Bible study was so sweet to move the location from our house to the Brannons home to give us another night to clean last night and we have enlisted the help of a couple students for tonight since I simply can't tackle this thing by myself and was trying to be super woman!
So the progress thus far : more headway in our room, all boys toys cleaned with alcohol and the family room has been sanitized! That involved vacuuming and steaming every inch of the couches and chairs in there, taking apart book shelves and spraying them, spraying base boards and wall, curtains, blinds and throwing the pillows in the dryer for 20 min to kill anything that may be on them. YAY!
